UNITE S'I'ATES EA'I'ELNT FFICE,

LAME FOB INC'UBATORS.

Applioation filed. September 15, 1923.

My nventon s an improved lamp, par ticularly applcable to neubators.

The objeot of my nvention is to provide a lamp whch may be readly refilled with a minimum amount of effort and Whieh .is so constructed that the entre eapaety of the bowl is avalable for the use of the fuel.

A further objeet of my inventon is to provide a means of protectng the Wick rom water which aeeumulates in the bottom of the bowl.

A further object of my invention is to provide supportng means for the bowl from wheb said bowl may be readily removed 'or cleaning and inspeetion.

In the annexed drawng in which my n vention s illustrated:

Figure 1 is a fragmentary side view of an neubator With my lamp attached thereto.

Figure 2 is a seetional view taken on tbe line 2--2 of Fig. 1.

Figure 8 is an end view of the burner bow1 positoned in the supporting frame.

Referrng more particularly te tbe drawing, a she11 1 is supported from the incubator 2 by means of a plurality of hangers 3 which are secured to the incubator and en eirele the shell 1. A bovvl 4, wheh is preferab1y semi-cylindreal in shape, is adaptec to sfide withn the shell 1 and is supporter! tbereby. A burner 5 is postoned in the top of the bowl 4 and a suitable chimney 6 fits over the burner 5 and extends into the ineubator 2 in the usual manner to beat sad ineubator. x

A filling cap 7 is positioned near the forward end of the bowl 4- whereby sad bow1 may be filled and c1eaned when desred. A. rod 8 is positioned on top of the shel1 1 end secured thereto, and acts as a stop for the bowl 4. The burner 5 coming in eontaot therewth positions the bowl w,ithin tbe she1l 1 end enab1es the chimney 6 to be drawn down upon the burner.

When t is d-esred to 1111 the bowl, t s merely wthdrawn slightly from the shell 1 as shown in dotted lines in Figure 1, Where it may be readi1y filled from the filling can. Wben t is desred to inspect or clean tbe Serial No. 662,876.

bow1, it may be entirely wthdrawn from the shell 1 and is supported upon legs S) fermed on the forward end thereof, which hold it in an uprght positon.

A screen 10 s positoned adjaeent the bottom of the bowl 4 upon Whieh the wc1; 11 rests. Any condensation or water W111 fa.ll to the bottom and Will ordinarily reman below the screen 10 and consequently eannot rise into the wiek 11 and decrease capillary aoton theren.

'Ihe shape of my lamp as well as the 1ength gves it sufficient eapacity to carry 011 for approxmately half of the entire hatehng perod-that s the lamp does not require to be filled more than once or tvvce. This s aecomplished with a standard wick and with the usual size of ohimney. Ths material reduees the amount of work requred of the operator.

I-Iavng deserbed my inventon, I olam:

1. In combination with an ineubator, an e]ongated shell, means extending fronfl sad inoubator end adapted to support said shell, a lamp bow1 adapted to be moved lengthwi se of said shell, & burner on said boW1 and a chmney adapted to be positioned over said burner.

2. In combination with an1ncubator, a shell, means suspended from sad neubator end adapted to support said shel1, a bow1 slidably mounted within and adapted to conform in shape to sad shell, a burner carried by said bowl end a filler cap adjaeeflt the enter end of said bowl.

3. In combination with an inoubator, an elongzzted shell, means suspended from sad ineubator end adapted to support said shell, a bowl slidably mo'unted wthin and of a size to conforrn to the shape of said shell a burner carried by sad bowl, a filler cap adjaeent tbe enter end of said bowl, a chmney adapted te extend fro1n said burner to said ncubator and a stop rod seeured to said she1l and adapted to be engaged by said burner.

In testimony whereof I aflx my signoture.

FAY D. CORNELL.
